Saturn V, 1:10 scale model rocket launch

[ronstew]

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. A 36-foot tall model rocket rises about 3000 feet in a few seconds.

I wonder what kind of insurance they took out on that project.

Pretty cool. Where I live, you get to see some big rockets all the time... but never get to see them parachute back.

Cool videos, thanks for sharing the link. The "official" video which is over 9 minutes long was interesting also. The cameraman talked to the crew some, and had some interesting footage of the launch tower and the area after the launch took place. They certainly did a great job on the building of the model. It sure brings back memories of my youth watching the real Saturn rockets launch. Man, I want to be an astronaut again now
